Use BB to predict scores?

<p>Just a thought--could you use the scoring guide/charts from the Blue Book to approximate your SAT score? Or is the curve totally different?</p>

<p>it’s different. the book just shows where your score could possibly fall under with your raw score</p>

<p>the scaled score depends on how others do</p>

<p>Having taken the test today, I can tell you that, while the questions from the BB are similar in difficulty to the real test, you will probably find the real test a whole different experience and thus probably not score the same. My last three BB tests were 2400, 2340, and 2400, and based on how I did today I’d be pleasantly surprised to manage much more than 2300.</p>

<p>don’t take the math curv ein the BB too seriously though lol</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies!</p>

<p>Yeah, I took it today too…definitely got a much different “vibe” from the test/testing environment. Now we just have to wait till April 7th. :/</p>

i dont believe this is true. I thought the curves were preset, meaning it doesn’t matter how “smart” everyone taking the test on testing day is in terms of your score.</p>

<p>I believe that the actual math sections on the SATs are 85895985983589359times harder than the ones in the blue book. The other sections on the SATs are similar to those in the blue book, if not, easier.</p>

<p>^ This was my thought today. Not sure if it was because I panicked at a couple math questions or if it was really harder.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I believe you’re correct.</p>

<p>Math wasn’t harder. I’ve seen some definite ■■■■■■■■ questions from the blue book. The math required a second more thought and contemplation for the fill-ins. (IE, you couldn’t just pump out answers in 2 seconds for the last few like you could for the question that asked you what that y intercept of mx+7 was (lol))</p>
